Am I really going to listen to Tricky and Massive Attack all weekend?

No. And it's not the weekend yet, anyway. I will clean and work and hike and buy a shoe rack and put shoes on it and finish a really basic design project and grill tofu. I'm also going to check out the "Phillipino deli and movie rentals" place. I don't want to get my hopes up too much about it.

there are animal toys in Lester's cage and on top of it and underneath itthere is art on the wallthere are no ashtraysthere are a lot of booksthere are only candles in the bathroomthere are no childrens toys or furniturethere are no wall clocks--anything that ticks must be hiddenthere are CD collections and my collection of, um, action figures (kind of hidden in my office)there is no real entertainment center, though we have a large TVThere are sometimes flowers, no other plants. Oh, a basil plant on the porch.There is food in the kitchen.There is no gardening equipment.There are various things to drink.There are no guns or gun racks.There are no holiday decorations right now, but soon it will be time for the small rubber skeletonThere are magnets and pictures on the fridge of my family and bunnies and of PoeThere are nicknacks on my shelves, near my, um, action figuresThere is no mailboxThe only mirrors are in the bathroomsThere are several musical insturments, flutes of various sorts, a guitar, an erhu, and a double reeded thing that is hard to play.There are pain killers and allergy pills in several drawers in the kitchen and in the bathroomsThere are photographs on the fridge and in boxes and some framedThere are no religious pictures about, but if you looked you'd see my religious books section on the shelvesI have a very very old small Persian carpet in the bedroom that used to be in my mom's bedroom and it is nice to stand on in the morning.There are no signs inside or outside.There are no special features to the apartment.

Help Protect Bees

The work of pollinators (such as bees, butterflies, and humming birds) ensures full harvests of many agricultural crops and contributes to healthy plants everywhere...As landscapes are converted from wild to managed lands, many pollinators’ habitats may be destroyed or fragmented. More than half of the food we eat depends on bees and other animals for pollination. Most of the fruit and vegetable producing plants we rely on need honeybee pollination to thrive--which is why the disappearance of honeybees known as Colony Collapse Disorder is a critical environmental issue.
